122mph sounds a tad unrealistic for 250kw tbh - complete turn around to the other turbos which were getting too low for the power! Will be interesting to hear what it does on a proper dragstrip :)

Trying to organise a spot on a different dyno tomorrow.

Small dyno day down here in Canberra, so I will see what happens.

Also in a few weeks I will get up to the drag strip in Sydney

250rwkw r33 (Full weight)

14.300 @ 122.6mph

14.909 @ 119.92mph

Does this sound about right?

Got these results from the SAU Nats Airport run

Have you weighed your car?

I drove mine down to the local council refuse tip, and weighed it on both weighbridges to get and average. It urns out a stock auto R32 GTST with a full tank of gas weighs 1385KG. A tad more than the 1280kg quoted in the Skyline book. Obviously you need to know your own weight and subtract it from the reading on the weighbridge.

was talking to a weighbridge guy a while back...said the averagely loaded commodore (inc driver ,fuel, junk in the trunk etc) weighs in at 2 tonne :woot:

What surprised me was the entry bridge weighed the car at 1395 and the exit weighed 1375kg. Our council is ripping us 20Kgs

Its actually very fast, the power delivery is so gradual theres hardly any wheel spin. I'm getting some mickey thompson drag tyres and hitting the strip soon.I think this one can get into the 11sec mark

slick and front runners...should do 10's...

cheers

So stao what specs is that turbo you put up? Same wheels as a 2535 but larger trim.? Originally I thought 270rwkw would be possible on e85 but the more I think about what r31nismoid said the more I think it will run out up top as the -7 and -9s do on e85. Plus the rear housing is a tiny .64. Wonder how a 2535 would have gone if they made a slightly larger ar rear housing.??? Does anyone think it would be worth putting a billet wheel in. Would it make any difference.

For the SS1, It was too small for a Rb25det, I only recommend it for Rb20/SR20 det engines and they works well.

I did built a .86 version of it and it appeared that compressor went out of puff around 5000RPMs resulting a sharp dip in the power band maxing out similar power level to the .64

52T and 56T 76mm wheels were also trailed, the EGT shot through the roof.

It was a long project but the .86 version did ended up working and refined. the development and testing blog is in this thread if any one like to read, the final version is called the SS1PU.

Swapped steel bearings back to ceramic rollers in the SS2. Its made very noticeable difference in down low throttle response, and I'm aware lot of turbochargers used in rally cars are ceramic bearinged for out of corner speed.

How ever colleges and people I know in the trade choice to support steel bearings, more or less due to the durability of the ceramic surface under heavy load. The majority of turbochargers that we've repaired in the past are steel bearinged also, probably due to the quantity distributed, I have yet to receive a ceramic bearinged turbocharger for overhaul.

Any of you guys experienced ceramic roller bearing turbo failures? if so how long have it lasted at what boost. Cheers.

I've seen/used/serviced ceramic bearing turbo/other applications in stationary and large marine engine applications... Also in refrigeration/air compressor compressors. Never seen a failure other than lubrication contaminant. Although, most of those applications were slower shaft speeds, less heat... but heavier loads. Ceramic bearings are also used gas turbine engines... increased efficiency (less rotational friction) and better heat handling (less thermal expansion and heat load).

Cheers

Thanks for the info. It appears the steel bearings are much quiter in high boost. It is also much cheaper to stock, I will be looking into it a bit more.

This is a pretty interesting turbocharger that I worked on recently. An IHI RH5 twin scroll, twin internal gated. actually has gate in individual pulses. It was very dead when it got here. Now high flowed into a SS1. twin plus VNT turbine is still work in progress, will do further trails once complete before further looking into building some crazy high flows using stock housings.

How did that go? I saw in another thread that the 119-122mph trap speeds for for 800m - not 400... that explains a lot!

i've just ordered a lot of gearbox seals and bits to fix my leaks.

I'll have us an SR SS1PU drag result soon.


Will give hy_rpm a yell too, see how the two compare.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
